Introduction: Hi! I'm West Bolz, a Charlotte native. I have played music my whole life, and had dozens of bands. Now I specialize in acoustic shows where I can take your requests and play a huge range of great tunes from the dawn of rock and roll, to modern hits. I have played over 1000 gigs, and have nearly that many songs in my repertoire.
I play old school style, a guy and his guitar. I do not use backing tracks which allows me to perform a wide variety of music to suit your event.
I play often solo, though I do have a duo featuring renown Latin percussionist Oseiku Diaz. He toured with Harry Belafonte, played Saturday Night Live with Bill Withers, and played with many other pro artists. I also have my buddy Max who is an old school New Orleans trumpet player who loves to join in. I have many other musician associates for various combos if you are looking for something specific.
I really enjoy playing for parties and special events. I love taking requests and the feeling of playing someone's favorite tune or artist. I have a 5 star rating, and I make sure every client is satisfied with my work.
